What are your favorite activities/hobbies besides doing gymnastics? 

I like to swim, bike, play in the playground, do art, and watch my iPad.

Because I wanted to learn how to do more moves like front rolls. I only started for summer classes but I liked it! So I continued. Also, I love my gymnastics teachers.

Front rolls, legs over head, bridge, left split, cartwheels, handstands, the bar, and going home time!
